Bart, Ghost in the Shell Haunt Home Vid

With Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith getting ready to explode on screens this Thursday, Fox Home Entertainment is capitalizing on the excitement with the release of The Simpsons: Bart Wars. The compilation of Simpsons installments is joined at retail by Volume 6 of the anime hit, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

The Simpsons: Bart Wars features the episodes “Dog of Death,” “Marge Be Not Proud,” “The Secret War of Lisa Simpson” and “Mayored to the Mob” on one disc. Also included is the featurette The Making of Bart Wars: The Simpsons Strike Back. Despite the title, the only real Star Wars tie-in is a guest starring performance by Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy. Other celebrities lending their voices to the episodes include Willem Dafoe, Phil Hartman, Joe Mantegna, Lawrence Tierney and Marcia Wallace. Fans can pick it up for $14.98.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Volume 6 offers fans three half-hour episodes of the animated series based on the ground-breaking anime feature from director Mamoru Oshii. In these installments, cyborg Major Motoko Kusanagi and her fellow Section 9 police officers continue to hunt down various criminals in both the real and online worlds. The Anchor Bay release is available as both a single-disc standard edition retailing for $24.98 and a two-disc special edition for $49.98. The special edition includes an exclusive T- shirt and a collector’s card.
